Top 5 stocking fillers for mermaids

OK, I know I said I was not going to write any further stocking filler posts, but 1 more wouldn't hurt really would it? So my wish list is now officially massive, but I couldn't leave out the mermaids.

Similar to Unicorns, Mermaids have entered the mainstream on a massive scale (no pun intended) over these past few years, with a vast array of products now available. Great news for us fans, not so much for the smaller business's who may not be getting the recognition deserved for their amazing mermaid designs because the high street giants have taken over.

With the exception of just 1 major brand (for obvious reasons) , we have tried to bring you this top 5 featuring the lesser known companies, they may not be on the high street, but they are certainly amazing.

Top 5 stocking fillers for Sailor Scouts

I really need to stop writing these stocking filler posts, my wish list is back to being a million pages long!

I just had to add one for fellow Sailor Moon lovers though. With so much official merchandise available already, it's hard to find a gift for fans they don't already own, especially when they're under £10.

Instead we decided to find our favorite Fan art products currently available for purchase. No easy task I assure you, there is so much great fan created products too, but I think we have finally settled on the top 5.



Magical Girl In Training Notebook

Designed by Megan Frisco, this notebook truly is magical.
With its pastel background, Mahou Shoujo's & Fairy Kei fans would both adore this in their stockings on Christmas morning.

With 120 pages, available as ruled or graphed, Sailor Scouts can get to writing their own training tips in this book.

Get from Red Bubble for £8


Sailor Moon Lapel Pin Set

Made with laser cut gold metallic acrylic, this special edition pin set is created by Star Glazed Delights.

Featuring cute designs of Sailor Moon's Transformation Brooch and it's contents.

Get them on Etsy for £8.10





 
Usagi's bed Mug

Designed by A-aru, this adorable mug features a design of Luna taking a nap on Usagi's bed.

It's just too cute, and again this would also be a perfect gift for Fairy kei fans too, so many pastels 😍

Get it from Red Bubble for £9.28




Sailor Moon Acrylic Charms

Get from Etsy for £4.85
Designed by Polar Star Chaser, these semi-transparent charms are like unshakeable snow globes, with your favorite characters inside, playing in their own little world.

With a choice of fastenings, they can be used in many ways, though I'd want to put her on a necklace and wear her always!


Get it from Red Bubble from £7
Not a Tragic Princess Print

Designed by Biscuits and Jam, this is a photographic print of Sailor Moon's Moon Stick, with a quote from Sailor Moon Crystal.

I love this quote, it's very empowering, a perfect mantra for girls everywhere. 

In a subtle pink, this would work on any ones wall.
And I think this one is my top out of all our list.




Are you a fellow Sailor Scout?

Will you be asking Santa to leave these in your stocking?

Top 5 Kawaii selection box alternatives

Selection boxes are pretty much a Christmas staple in the UK, often filled with a variety of chocolate treats. Although enjoyed, they're not exactly cute!

Tofu Cute have a huge selection of Japanese sweets and biscuits, a perfect accompaniment to your Kawaii festivities. From Popin' Cookin' to Pocky, you'll find them all at really great prices.

Here are my top 5 of the cutest candy currently available, I know I would enjoy eating any of these for breakfast on a Christmas morning.



Get it from Tofu Cute for £5.99
Hairdressing Candy

This sweet candy treat is a throw back to my own childhood. Much like the play-doh hairdressing station, only with this kit you get to eat the hair once you've styled it.

Once the candy supplied runs out, you could easily replace it with an alternative. Fun over and over again.

Even the packaging is super cute!






Get them from Tofu Cute for £4.99
Sailor Moon Candy Set

Not only do you receive some lemonade candy, but there is also a highly detailed necklace featuring designs based on our favorite mahou shoujo.

With 40 different necklaces to collect, these blind bags are a much better gift then the age old Cadbury's. 

Candy & Jewelry, the greatest combination!
 


Get them from Tofu Cute for £2.50
Strawberry Chocolate box

I guess this one is still technically a selection box, except all the contents are delicious strawberry chocolates.

With images of Peko Chan and Sanrio characters, it would be a hard decision to actually eat them and not just look at each character whilst awww-ing  constantly.

Then again, chocolate... who could actually resist.


Get them from Tofu Cute for £2.99
Strawberry Pocky

Pocky is the sweet biscuit that no one can resist. Once you've had one, you quickly find you've finished the box!

Tofu Cute stock a massive range of Pocky flavors, but these are my favorite. With real strawberry flakes in the coating, I can pretend these are part of my five a day.

This box comes with 3 individual packs, so showing some restraint is more achievable.



Get it here from Tofu Cute starting from £24.99
The Ultimate Selection Box Bag

With so many amazing candies on offer, it can be overwhelming to pick which ones to try next, so why not treat yourself to one of their lucky bags instead?

As well as amuse & food lucky packs available, there is this limited Christmas bag featuring both plushies & Candy. Let them decide for you, you maybe pleasantly surprised.

You also receive this adorable string bag featuring Tofu Cute's own character designs. You could use it to keep all your Christmas swag in!



Will you be gifting any of our alternatives this year?

Do you love Tofu Cute as much as I do?
